Boca de Potrerillos: rock art, evidence, and care

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

INAH's landscape interpretation combines rock art with other archaeological traces. Association requires checking rather than one date for all marks. The conservation study examines human damage and prevention in Nuevo León; public familiarity is not permission to touch or alter surfaces.

Rock-art landscape and conservation context Multiple Holocene contexts; individual rock-art dates remain evidence-specific Carved surfaces, associated archaeological materials and conservation studies Monterrey, Nuevo León (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, farming, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.
Resumen

Herramientas, agua, hogares y mundos regionales

Conexiones desérticas, peninsulares, del Pacífico, de tierras altas y del Bajío

Monterrey, Nuevo León is modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Repeated landscape use cannot identify a single ancient polity or authorize a ritual reconstruction.

Organización política y escala comunitaria

Repeated landscape use cannot identify a single ancient polity or authorize a ritual reconstruction. Boca de Potrerillos tool deposits do not date every carving; no panel coordinates, restricted interpretation or collecting advice is supplied.

Transformación colonial, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Archaeological materials do not identify every ancient speaker. Living language communities, self-designations and membership authority remain distinct. Events after 1600 CE and modern research, conservation and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

Several kinds of evidence INAH's landscape interpretation combines rock art with other archaeological traces. Association requires checking rather than one date for all marks.
